THE BONJOUR EFFECT: THE SECRET CODES OF FRENCH CONVERSATION REVEALED

Book ID/图书代码： 02173016B91030

English Summary/英文概要： Jean-Benoît Nadeau and Julie Barlow spent a decade traveling back and forth to Paris as well as living there. Yet one important lesson never seemed to sink in: how to communicate comfortably with the French, even when you speak their language. In The Bonjour Effect Jean-Benoît and Julie chronicle the lessons they learned after they returned to France to live, for a year, with their twin daughters. They offer up all the lessons they learned and explain, in a book as fizzy as a bottle of the finest French champagne, the most important aspect of all: the French don’t communicate, they converse. To understand and speak French well, one must understand that French conversation runs on a set of rules that go to the heart of French culture. Why do the French like talking about "the decline of France"? Why does broaching a subject like money end all discussion? Why do the French become so aroused debating the merits and qualities of their own language? Through encounters with school principals, city hall civil servants, gas company employees, old friends and business acquaintances, Julie and Jean-Benoît explain why, culturally and historically, conversation with the French is not about communicating or being nice. It’s about being interesting. After reading The Bonjour Effect, even readers with a modicum of French language ability will be able to hold their own the next time they step into a bistro on the Left Bank.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 让·伯努瓦·纳多和朱莉·巴洛花了10年的时间来巴黎生活。然而，一个重要的教训似乎从未被人铭记:如何与法国人保持轻松的沟通，即使是在你说他们的语言的时候。在“你好”效应的影响下，让·伯努瓦和朱莉记述了他们在回到法国后，与他们的双胞胎女儿一起生活了一年的故事。他们提供了所有他们学到并解释的东西，在一本像一瓶最好的法国香槟一样的书中，最重要的方面是:法国人不交流，他们交谈。要理解和讲法语，你必须明白，法语的对话是在法国文化的中心进行的。为什么法国人喜欢谈论“法国的衰落”?为什么像钱这样的话题会结束所有的讨论?为什么法国人对自己语言的优点和品质如此兴奋?通过与学校校长、市政厅公务员、煤气公司员工、老朋友和商界熟人的接触，朱莉和让伯努瓦解释了为什么在文化和历史上，与法国人的谈话不只是交流或友好。它是有趣的。阅读了“你好”效应之后，即使是拥有一点点法语能力的读者，也可以在下次进入左岸的小酒馆时，自己也能掌握自己的语言。（WYL）
